y SHIP-WINDOW.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN Woodlynne,

State of New Jersey,

S'. WHITE, of

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ship` Windows,whereof the following is a speciication, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings.

Ship windowscall for the employment of a number'of alternative sashes orclosures. Thus, it is desirable that there shall be 'provided for suchwindows in addition to the clear glass sash or double sash, a heavierstorm sash, a sliding blind or shutter, and an insect screen. Theproblem of the' stowage of somany'sashes in the limited space affordedby marine construction, is the one to which this invention is directed.VOne or more of the sashes may simply be made .removable, but as a ruleit is necessary to stow two or three of the sashes within thewall space.Hitherto this has been accomplished by the use of a pocket below thewindow aperture. The objection to this is that it provides a spacecapable of lreceiving water. According to my present invention I providea space directly over the vvindowaper-V ture and employit for thestowage of two or three of the sashes employed.

It is a further object o f my invention to render allof the sashes'lightenough to be handled and adjusted withoutthe employ nient ofcounterweights.

Further details of my invention will be referred to in thespeciflcationand claims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure I, is a vertical sectional view ofa ship window and surrounding parts `embodying my'invention, the windowbeing provided with a screen sash, storm sash, glass sash and shuttersash. Figs. II, and III, are detail sectional views showing thearrangement of my anti-rattler strips on either side of theV plain sash.

Referring to Fig. the window therel shown is set in a wall formed of anouter partition 2, and an inner partition 3, with provision of the space4, between the two,-

above the window, forming a convenient pocket for the stowage of suchsashes protecting the window as are not removably interposed in theaperture. The sill 5, frames the bottom of the window aperture. Run-waysfor the sashes are formed at the` sides of the window aperture,byproperly .spaced parting beads in the form of the anti# Specificationyof Letters Patent.

rattler strips 6,*and 10, which are preferably l sheet brass bent toform athree-sided trough. The central side is' pierced by a series ofdiagonal slots `7, succeeding each other at intervals,

short enough to enable a sash to be set at any' desired height. The siderails A of the sashes which run against these metal Y parting beads' arefaced with lmetal strips Sliding in y the inner partition and the strip6,7is a sashV with fixed slats 9. Sliding in 8, provided the run-waybetween Vthe strips 6, andlO, is a glass'pane 12. Sliding in the run-way'formed between the outer partition and the lstripY 10, is the stormsash 16, which is provided near thevbottom with a small heavy glass pane13'.- Asimilar small set in the upper part of this which otherwise issolid. The

the run-way Vformed between outer partition has a small translucentbutf,

not transparent pane 15, set in it, as a point corresponding to theposition of the lower small pane 13,'when the storm sash is raised. Whenthe shutter sash, the Yplain glass sash, or the storm sash are raised,they arestowed within the space 4, above'the window be-V tween thepartitions. The height of the shutter sash'is such that when the sash'islowered,v the top will come sufficiently below thepartition wall 3, Vtoleave a space .correand permitthepassage of sufficient light.Furthermore, the passage of light is not interfered with by the stormvsash in either position, for when in the lower position, its top is alsobelow opening `15, and when raised pane 13, correspond with pane 15asshown in Fig. I.

A sash 20, provided with a wire net insect screen 21,v is removablyinserted within the window aperture outside of the sashes,

pose, the window aperture is provided at the top with the overhangingstrip 22, beneath which the screen sash is set. At the bottom the screenis secured by the sliding dowel pin25, the end of which enters anappropriate socket inthe sill.

The glass sash 11, has attached toits in- 28, provided with av which iswithdrawn by pres ner face Va metal case latch or pin 29,

sure upon the handlesV 30. The pin 29,'is

` normally spring pressedy vso as to shoot into one of the slots in theanti-rattler strip to which its end is opposed. When entering .one ofthese slots, the weight of the sash which have been mentioned. For thispurice the comparatively small size of the sashes l thus provided,whereby they are rendered of less weight than those which have hithertobeen Vemployed for similar purposes. It is desirable that such sasliesshould be of small weight7 vsince if they are very heavy, itis necessaryto provide balancing weights or spring tape balances which are veryobjectionable iii marine architecture.

Having thusdescribedmy invention, I`A

claim: v Y

l. In a ship window, the combination of the window aperture formed in awall having inner and outer partitions; a space between said partitions-above the window aperture for stowage of the sashes, the win'- dowaperture being oi' greater height in the inner partition than the outerpartition, a sash stowing away in said storage space of a height onlysuthcient to close the aperture in the outer partition, whereby a clearspace is provided between the top of vthe aperture in the innerpartition, and the top of the sash, and-a small pane inserted iiiV theouter partition in position to permit light to pass through'the abovementioned` clear space.

In a ship window, the combination of a window aperture having inner andouter partitions, a space between said partitions aperture for stowageof aperture being of greater partition, a storm sash stowing away insaid Y stowage space also provided with a small pane which registersywith the first nientioned small pane when the storm sash is in itsraised position. l

3. In a shipfwindow, lthe combination `of the window aperture foi-inedin a wall having inner and outer partitions; a space between saidpartitions above the window aperture for stowage of thesashes, thewindow aperture being of greater height inthe inner partition than theouter partition; a in, said 'stowage space'oi sash stowing away a heightonly suiiicient to close the aperture in the outer partition, `whereby aclear space is provided between the top vot' theY l aperture in theinner partition and the top of the sash, a-s1nall pane inserted intheouter partition in position to permit light to )ass throuUh the abovementioned clear. l :s

space, a storm sash stowing above the ywin'- dow and also provided withsmall panes, the lower of said panes corresponding in position tothe-first mentioned sniall pane when the storm sash is in the Yraisedposition.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto Pennsyl-` signed my name, atPhiladelphia, vania, this'iirst day of October 1914.
